According to the latest patch notes "The AI routines of Bird-of-Prey Raiders have been improved to include more well-defined Strafing Runs."

Why not give this to the Fer'Jai as well?

I also have been doing parsing and the the use of dual cannons have gotten a little better since the AI upgrade but not much. We are still talking about 1-2 % of total damage done from the pets, lower than even the damage done by the aceton beam which is not really meant as a damage skill but as a debuff.
